Pounding the rock – elogio della perseveranza. | Davide Pessina | TEDxRovigo


[Music]

sorry excuse I was trying to do

something for the voice is that which

unfortunately then the time the time of the

sport an essential aspect

here is an example maybe I move that

encumbrance

proceed lets spend the time you are

seconds still for the action of the happy

8 at the end of the game will award the

shooting from three at the end takes the iron

4 seconds in three seconds two seconds with

totti per forte libero sotto teresa del

old master in the office

good

otherwise

from fitch

Someone of you knows by chance that game

it’s good I did not expect it I thought of

having to put pictures of rugby instead

seen the earth, however , is one of the

most famous matches in the history of the

Italian basketball at the final Scudetto

1989 between Livorno and Milan more

precisely, the last decisive race 5

race 5

what you have seen are just the

last few seconds ahead of a point

miss a shot there is a chance for

livorno to try running in

counter-attack and to take a throw thing

that makes with strong Andrea pulling on

siren

at the end of it you enter a world

surreal for half an hour at least from

a part of Milan in the locker room

celebrates the Scudetto in the field of Livorno

with the fans celebrating the Scudetto

the confused journalists follow the photographers

they look around the old ones

we photograph in doubt photographing

all so sure the team that has

finally, one of them has photographed it

half an hour later someone can enter

in the locker room where they had retired

the referees and comes out with the news on

basket is not good and arrived after it

expire the Milan Scudetto some

day after the sports Sunday

they try to answer a minimum

the more scientific we say for which

based on television images

analyze the frames I’m not going to explain

frame because I did not understand them anyway

are fractions of a second of the image e

it turns out that actually the

basket has arrived after the expiration of

one tenth one tenth abundant

obviously I tell it serene because

played milan had been in livorno

she probably tells it to others

tone

said this and to do the right for

take an example that sometimes in sport

a second a tenth of a second

can decide a match can

decide a season

they can sometimes even really decide

a whole career

however there are also many other types of

time for example one more feared in

absolute by the athletes are the times of

recovery from an injury where over

to fatigue to pain and to that ugly one

creeping thought that maybe not

you’ll be back more than before

there is another aspect that maybe never

what weighed most is that in

where you are alone if not your centuries

comrades do not live daily life

of the team does not go away, not you

do not play games do not participate and this

a feeling for those who play sports

team quite unpleasant

then there is another kind of time again

that maybe I could call dilated time

I’ve accused him to the maximum and

waiting for the match of the event

especially those important all

wake up in the morning and in front I do not know 10

hours and the clock looks like a hundred

continuously the immobile hands

It seems 6 hysterical no one can be with you

near moments of solitude

then dine try to make some sleep

he does not always succeed

then it’s time to go to the camp

on average an hour and a half an hour e

half before the match there though

it does not seem possible

time slows down again

tension you try to trick it with

small rituals small scaramanzie that

somehow you think they can do you

feel a little safer to approach

the game is better

then finally you play gets the ball up

2 and band enters a different world

everything is very fast, almost chaotic

frenetic you no longer have time to think

then just do something to trust yours

instincts, however, these are not instincts

innate are instincts that somehow

you had to build and the only way

which has to build these instincts e

work out at the gym and all the work

that is upstream first of all the hours that

every player goes to the gym for

work on his body on his game for

refine his merits to file his

defects to perfect his game

a movement the mechanics of a gesture

that allows you to do it under pressure

when you do not have time to think that you

allows you to make it as much as possible

natural almost automatic indeed

because in order to take some

quick decisions preferably right

under pressure all this work is

decisive

and all this to all this work you

sometimes unfortunately only times of allows

experience another kind of time

I do not know how to call it suspended time

maybe in my day they called it trance

competitive

now those who talk well

define state of flow state of

flow and is a unique sensation

you feel at the center of everything around you

it seems like everything is slowing down you know

perfectly what it is going to

happen

had the ball had an opponent

what the partner does, I never know

been able to recreate it would be too much

easy every time though sometimes really

so it happens and it’s really one

wonderful feeling

but the work that every player puts

to become better is only a part

of the equation because obviously the

basketball is a team sport like the

rugby and then you need to look

to make a group a set of

people who are heterogeneous for

provenance for technical characteristics

for human characteristics and characteristics

try to make a group a group of them

homogeneous a single group

a group that somehow speaks it

same technical language and who knows what

expect one from the other and even here

the only way to do this is to pass by

time at the gym all together

working

gregg popovich coach san antonio

spurs American professional team

with which he won five titles in the

last years is considered one of the most

great basketball coaches of all time

claims that the secret of theirs

prolonged success is only one each

year start over

from the bases from the foundations it does not matter

how many players were there already

the year before how little has changed

team how many players are there from

ten years and we have these things

done

hundreds of times it does not matter is

the only way you can not take

shortcuts you can not skip

steps because you have to give yourself time

to make mistakes and correct mistakes

must have the patience to make mistakes and to

to correct mistakes

only this is the way to succeed

to have somehow succeeded only

this is the way you can be in

Somehow ready when it really

tension will be high to emphasize

this aspect to remember it gregg

popovich did this attack

sign in the locker room where there is one

sentence a phrase by jacob ris via

one was an American sociologist

of Danish origin from the mid-800s to the early 1900s

and he did it to translate into the language of

each of the players present in the

team for example when I have

visited the locker room there was one in

Italian in Portuguese a French one

Spanish and of course in English for i

American players

the title we can give to this

sentence I believe is the creed of

stonecutter or if you want in English

pound in the rock and more or less

it recites it when nothing seems

help I go to see a work

stone cutter that hits hundreds of

times the rock without seeing one

then crack at the 101th the rock itself

opens in two but I know it was not

that last shot was 100

earlier here is beyond cat

I find it a nice phrase that maybe

we should keep in mind

occasionally in life when really

nothing seems to work

I remember a word a nice word

perseverance a virtue that this too

maybe we should keep more present

practice more in our life

because it really can help

returning to that game

I was 21 at the time and I thought

more or less unconsciously, who knows

how many times it will happen to me

play games like that too

the feeling is bad it was not and

obviously imagine 0

ok I played other finals maybe

important equal but final the ferret 0

plus the athlete from a career

relatively short for obvious reasons a

day you wake up your body tells you

friend

we just can not do it anymore

in short , sportsmen are goods

perishable and when I stopped playing

I realized that maybe I was not

managed to live all the moments like

I wanted to

that in short, to return to today’s topic

those 40 minutes more today

now I would like to succeed

take them to appreciate to appreciate

more all the moments of

tension even those of stress also the

fatigue that can also be therapeutic

in many situations

in short, what I’m trying to say

that you win or that you lose enjoy

the moment more than you can

thank you

[Applause]

Well
